There’s good news from Berlin today as Dominic Burns’ latest film Airborne has found UK distribution with Chelsea Films, part of the Curzon Artificial Eye Group. The film marks the return to the big screen of Mark Hamill, and his name will undoubtedly draw an audience keen to see the Star Wars actor again and [...]
Star Wars hits cinemas today with one extra dimension than we saw back in 1999 when the movie was first released, back then there was so much hype and anticipation for the movie that everyone thought was going to be the greatest prequel of all time. Unfortunately, although the movie made an absolute fortune, it [...]
To date, there are currently ten films that have crossed that almost unimaginable threshold of taking more than a billion dollars at the worldwide box office, a record first broken in 1998 by James Cameron’s epic, Titanic, which stayed at the top of the US box office for fifteen straight weeks, a record it still [...]
Thirteen years earlier I was in Leicester Square to witness a moment which had long been rumoured, promised then teased when the first of the Star Wars prequel trilogy was released. It hadn’t started well. The Phantom Menace seemed too quirky a title, however the cast was good – Ewan McGregor as a young Alec [...]
We are literally just days away from the 3D re-release of the first film in one of cinema’s biggest franchises, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. Yesterday, we saw some never-before-seen images that took us behind the scenes of the film. And today, we have a great new featurette, courtesy of Yahoo Movies, [...]
There’s a lot riding on this re-release of George Lucas’s Star Wars films (now with added 3D) as this falls before the re-unleashing of James Cameron’s Titanic later in the year and all eyes will be as much on the quality of the post-conversion process as the film itself. There’s no doubt that The Phantom [...]
To celebrate the release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace 3D which arrives in cinemas February 9th, we are giving away two pairs of tickets to an exclusive advance screening on Wednesday the 8th February. The screening will take place at a West End venue (this will be revealed once you receive your [...]
Star Wars has always belonged to the fans, and it makes sense that in a time when Yoda is being pimped out to sell mobile networks and Darth Vader has been demoted to training computer store employees how to do their job the fans have a chance to retaliate, to strike back as it were. [...]
If you weren’t aware, Star Wars is coming back to the cinema (I know!) and this time it’ll be coming at you in eye-popping 3D. At least that’s what the promotions that I’ve seen for it so far have been telling us! The other day we had a lovely post for the Darth Vader burger [...]
To celebrate the launch of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace in 3D we have teamed up with costume retailer Escapade fancy dress for a competition giving you the chance to win one of two awesome and covetable prizes. The Star Wars fancy dress gear up for grabs includes one fantastic Star Wars [...]
This has to go down as some of the oddest news that I’ve ever posted but it was so bizarre that it had to go up! I may now have to go to France just to experience one of these as we see that restaurant ‘Quick’ will be serving both a Darth Vader burger and [...]
In the past few months, we’ve seen the brilliant first poster and trailer for the 3D re-release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace to whet our appetites for the film’s return to the big screen at the start of next year. I wasn’t a frequent cinemagoer when the film first came out in [...]
Back in September, William Shatner himself weighed in on the age-old debate over Star Trek vs. Star Wars that has taken place for decades among fans of both franchises as to which is the superior, which is more worthy of their loyal devotion. A brilliant new video has now surfaced, with thanks to Deadline for [...]
Twentieth Century Fox have released what I believe is the first trailer for the 3D re-release of Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace 3. The movie will be coming back to the cinema February 2012 in glorious 3D to make George Lucas a bit more money just incase he needed it! If you missed [...]
Looking on the bright side this is the chance to see all six Star Wars films on the big screen once again, but the competence of the 3D conversion will have to be decent to make this a worthwhile return. Certainly these 3D re-releases will become very big business over the next decade or so [...]
As an avowed Star Wars afficionado of over 30 years I was pleased to have the opportunity to review the latest Clone Wars series on DVD. Clone Wars is a computer-animated spin-off of the Star Wars movie franchise and it explores the further adventures of the Star Wars characters from the Clone Wars period of [...]
The name might not immediately ring a bell, but the face surely will. Julian Glover has decades of highly acclaimed television, theatre and film behind him and has worked with some of the very biggest names in cinema. He squared off against Indiana Jones in The Last Crusade and he captained an AT-AT during the [...]
Those of us who grew up with the original Star Wars films will remember the moment all too well. Towards the end of The Empire Strikes Back a secret is revealed and everything changes. While most of Generation X-Wing will not remember how we took this particular piece of news thanks to the wonders of [...]
To conclude the mammoth Star Wars coverage we’ve given you over the past couple of weeks to celebrate the saga’s release on Blu-ray I’ve got something a little random, but hopefully something you’ll find an interest in. This visual trip down memory lane finds us back in 1983 with Return of the Jedi about to [...]
